Wharfedale Elysian 4R - Flagship Floorstanding Speakers
Free UK Delivery
£6,999.00
The ELYSIAN 4R is the flagship floorstanding loudspeaker in the ELYSIAN R Series. Created for the most ambitious two-channel systems, it delivers the full scale, authority and emotional depth of Wharfedale’s high-end loudspeaker engineering.
With dual 8.5” coated glass fibre matrix bass drivers, a dedicated 6” coated glass fibre matrix midrange driver and the further-developed 27 x 90mm AMT high-frequency unit, ELYSIAN 4R is designed for effortless dynamics, deep bass extension and a vast, natural soundstage.
It is the most complete expression of Generation R: more refined, more precise and more revealing, while preserving the rich, expansive musical character that made the original ELYSIAN series a modern classic.
Flagship ELYSIAN R performance
The 4R delivers the greatest scale, authority and low-frequency extension in the range.
Dual 8.5” bass drivers
Large coated glass fibre matrix bass drivers provide deep extension, dynamic headroom and controlled impact.
Dedicated 6” midrange driver
The separate midrange unit preserves natural vocal tone, instrumental texture and spatial precision.
The bass and midrange drivers feature coated glass fibre matrix cones chosen for their strength, lightweight nature, and controlled damping. This ensures clear bass, natural midrange sound, and minimal coloration.
Further-developed AMT treble
The 27 x 90mm AMT delivers speed, extension and low-distortion high-frequency performance.
The ELYSIAN R AMT is engineered for speed, openness and precision. Its pleated diaphragm moves air with exceptional efficiency, giving the loudspeaker a sense of effortless detail and natural high-frequency extension.
The R crossover
The ELYSIAN R crossover features premium components such as high-silicon-iron-cored coils for bass, air-core coils for midrange and treble, Super Audiophile polypropylene capacitors, and low-inductance resistors. Innovative direct-path PCBs are designed to maintain signal clarity.
SLPP bass management
Wharfedale’s Slot-Loaded Profiled Port system enhances bass extension and control, minimises turbulence, and reduces placement sensitivity. The outcome is bass that is strong, quick, and reliable in typical listening environments.
